Where's my quantum stockpile?
« on: April 30, 2017, 04:31:36 pm »
Revisiting DF after a hiatus. All the muscle memory key strokes are intact.  But I can't seem to find my quantum stockpile.

(Found it.)

I had built a staircase on top of it.
Found it with "i" by going from level to level.

I thought maybe "R" would list it and although it did list some Zones it didn't seem to have the garbage dump.

If the last time you played was before Minecarts were introduced, setting up a small minecart system can also create quantum stockpiles, with the added benefit/penalty of not having to worry about creatures/dwarfs/pets being pelted with dumped items from above. Of course dumping can still be faster to stockpile stuff in the short term if you have enough dwarfs to handle it. My current fortress does have a wood stockpile with over 1000 logs in one tile using minecarts though, so its a nice long term investment in quantum stockpiling that can be done automatically by dwarfs without having to worry about designating items to be dumped.
